Discover Saarbrücken by Hire Car
Saarbrücken, the capital of Saarland, is located in southwestern Germany, near the border with France.
You often hear Germans joke that Saarbrücken is not a German city after all, but rather a French one.
In fact, Saarbrücken also thrives on its French charm, which is best experienced at the Sankt Johanner Markt or in the winding streets of the Nauwieser Viertel. But Saarbrücken has much more to offer.
Sights in Saarbrücken
Very worth seeing buildings are for example the Ludwigskirche, the Johanneskirche or the Saarbrücken Castle. For the culturally interested, it is a good idea to spend an evening at one of the various performances at the State Theatre or to take a look at the collection of the Saarland Museum, which is particularly famous for its modern gallery.
Shopping is very good in the centrally located pedestrian zone, but its side streets are equally worth a visit. At the end of the pedestrian zone you come across the St. Johanner Markt.
There it is recommended to have a coffee in a cosy atmosphere in one of the hospitable restaurants. Visitors to Saarbrücken will find peace and quiet on the banks of the Saar, which also invites you to take a long walk.

If you are a guest in Saarbrücken, it is advisable to hire car, for example, to drive across the border into France or to discover the sights of the Saarland, such as the Saarschleife or the Völklingerhütte.
